Heya! I’ve been part of the sex-positive community for some years now, organising workshops and festivals here and there and stumbled into The Intimate Revolution in 2019. In no other space have I ever felt as safe and welcome, nowhere else have I experienced so much emphasis on consent and communication.

I’m happy to support The Intimate Revolution as head of team volunteer together with Emily. I have a good overview over all the help a festival like ours needs and try to have the wishes of everyone in mind when writing the shiftplans. Also I’ll probably be the one to come looking for you when you forget to come to your shift- maybe with a whip in my hand 😉

Hello 🙂 I joined the core team mid 2021 – because I share the values of the Intimate Revolution and want to spread them! I am very happy to support during the year with the emails as well as welcome you at the symposium / on site at the festival – I want to make sure you have a great start into the festival!

I am an open minded and kinky person (especially ropes/shibari) and like to explore and experience new things. See you at the Intimate Revolution!

Alex studied cultural managment and has co-created a bunch of art festivals in Vienna prior to joining the Intimate Revolution team. With her background, she helps out in many areas, be it negotiations, making a budget or finding the right sponsors. Also as a part of the queer community in Vienna she advices the Intimate Revolution on queer topics and inclusivity. 

After working for a while as a paramedic, driving through the streets of Vienna and saving lifes, she is currently studying medicine to take her passion for the emergency medicine to the next level.

Despite it being a cliche, Alex is deeply in love with her cat Aria and dreams of finding joy and fullfilment through self-love and indepence, letting go of the past and finding love and relaxation in the ever-fleeting moment.

Anna lives and breathes for aliveness and depth. Those two things are central for anything she does; be it holding workshops, being part of s+ spaces, educating and learning about ecology & climate or exploring nature and rock faces. Her guiding star is feeling, experiencing and creating her inner and outer world as fully as possible – and she has found TIR to be an excellent place for that.

This is Sam. He doesn’t know what to write about himself. He wishes someone would write this for him…

Sam lives for music, nature, movement and burrito hugs. He spends a lot of time hanging out with weird & wonderful sunshine-humans. (the people who bring rays of sunshine with them everywhere)

He sings. He speaks. He sleeps.

My vision is to support sex positive spaces with creating an aestehtic frame through light, color and fabric. As I move forward I continiously discover beauty in contrast and variation. I believe in the powerful social impact of the sex-positive movement, especially tangible within The Intimate Revolution, which I have discovered for me as a safe and unique space to encounter and explore.

Hello out there, I am Fio. I am a super communicative, outgoing, sexual and sensitive human being. I dream of a better world for everyone, I love deconstructing everything, playfulness, softness, good food and deep talks with strangers.

The IR is the place where I feel free to be who ever I am in that exact moment. I am convinced that we need a revolution that is based on consent, taking care of our own and others boundaries, a lot of softness and healing sexual interactions!

Hi, I’m Emily, living in Berlin for most of my adult life. Since last year with my tiny dog & growing to love being an introvert.
